If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.

If we can take one thing from the way lynch talks about art I think it should be to never again dilute your vision and don't put off any art you want to make because it all dies with you, there's no other way, there's no one else

T-8 days before we make this dream of @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social and many others a reality: a narrative and stealth game set during the 1948 Nakba, telling the story of Palestinians being evicted from their lands by the oppressing Israeli apartheid regime.

Someone did anti-AI glaze for audio!
For my musician friends who don’t want their music stolen for genAI www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...
You can't hear it, but University of Tennessee tool 'cloaks' songs to protect music from AI
"This is the first of its kind. Before this, there's no tool that can prevent music from being learned by generative AI."

One more reminder that webglaze serves all its users on the equivalent power of 50% of a single outdated data center GPU. Or you can run glaze on a modern laptop and glaze an image in about 2 mins. Unlike AI companies busy training the latest models, you won’t disrupt any power grids. I promise.
New evidence shows AI's thirst for power may be distorting the flow of power to US consumers (gift link):

For Christmas Day, Israel went and bombed the last operating hospital in North Gaza. It persevered, so today Israel assaulted the building, all medical staff has been forced into concentration camps, and the hospital was set on fire. Israel's genocide can't have any survivors in Gaza.

@rasheedabueideh.bsky.social is a Palestinian game developer from the city of Nablus– the same birthplace as my father-in-law.
Baba hates it when I say father-in-law. I use the term only so you know he’s my wife’s biological father, not mine.

Fucksake government. You can’t issue a consultation document that insists that “two pillars of the UK economy” are the “AI sector and the creative sector.”
Because if you are allowing one to do its job, profitably, the way it wants, then the other one ceases to exist. And vice versa.
